Optellum partners with DKFZ Hector Cancer Institute at University Medicine Mannheim

Our mission is to catch lung cancer earlier, drive a stage shift, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. This is why we’re proud to announce our latest collaboration with the DKFZ Hector Cancer Institute at University Medicine Mannheim, a partnership between DKFZ German Cancer Research Center, Universitätsklinikum Mannheim, UMM, and the Medical Faculty Mannheim of Universität Heidelberg.

The DKFZ Hector Junior Clinical Cooperation Unit “Translational Molecular Imaging in Oncologic Therapy Monitoring” and the Clinic for Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, UMM will implement our AI-powered Virtual Nodule Clinic to support earlier lung cancer diagnosis and more confident risk assessment.

By combining our clinically validated technology with their world-class expertise, we’re enabling them to provide the best care to their patients, improving outcomes and solving lung cancer.
